[occhallenge] Smooth
(Set in AU. Alice is scent_ofbooks, Sam is imnot_likeyou, Anna is hitchhiker_girl.)
"Ally. Who is that woman?" Randall grabbed Alice's arm as she was walking past.
She stopped and looked where he was looking, to the woman talking to Sam. "Who? Anna? She's an old friend of Sam's."
"And?"
"And...I don't know. I've only met her a few times, but she seems sweet." Alice looked up at Randall and raised a brow. "Aw, honey, you wanna meet her?"
Randall stood a little straighter and shrugged, brushing the idea off. "Wha? No. I was just...wondering."
"Sure you were." Alice linked arms with her old friend and leaned against him slightly. She had been making her way around the room to say hi to everyone at the rehearsal dinner. "Y'know, I keep saying it's time you get back out there. Dean and Sam are really fond of her, so she has to be a good person."
He shrugged and turned away from where he'd been looking. "It's not like that. She's pretty and I was curious."
"Really?" Alice grinned at him.
He sighed and glanced Anna's way. The short brunette was laughing at something Sam was saying, and her long hair fell into her face. He watched her brush it back behind her ear, before turning away again and looking down at Alice. "Fine. She's gorgeous and I want to meet her."
"So I'll introduce you. Just don't be too much of a dork."
"I'm not! I'm smooth."
"Ha! Right," Alice laughed, grabbing his hand and leading the way.
"I'm having second thoughts already."
"Don't be an idiot," she hissed. Then they came to a stop before Sam and Anna. Sam spotted Alice and broke into a grin, sliding his arm around her waist. "Hi honey," she said to him.
"Hi," Sam replied. Then he nodded to Randall with a smile. "Thanks for comin', man."
"Wouldn't miss it," Randall shrugged.
Alice continued grinning as she turned her attention to Anna. "Anna, this is a very dear friend of mine, Randall. Randall, Anna."
Randall got a little shy at that and held out a hand, his other arm still firmly held in Alice's grip. "Nice to meet you," he said with a smile.
Anna reached out and shook his hand, smiling back. "You too," she nodded.
He caught himself staring a second too long and pulled his hand back, then looked at Alice. "I should go make sure Andy is behaving herself." Alice gave him a look at his lame excuse to flee, but he turned back to Anna. "Hope you enjoy your evening, Anna." Then he turned and walked off to find his younger sister, shoving his hands into his pockets.
Look chill, Randall. Look chill. Yeah, he was definitely going to have to find an excuse to dance with her the next day at the reception. He glanced over his shoulder again to get another look at her. He had no idea why he suddenly felt drawn to this woman he didn't know, but he wanted to be really careful before he hurled himself towards inevitable disappointment.
